pedicel long and slender^ distinctly longer than nide and not cnpshaped and the funicle joint 
somewhat longer.

3. OLIGOSITA INERMICLAVA new species. 
Fcivole: — Length, O.So mm. 
Differs from poincarci in that there arc live cross-stripes of dusky on the abdomen, the 
first faint, the antennal club is without a prominent terminal spine, the pedicel is elongate, nearly 
twice the lengtli of the funicle joint, the scutum bears a long, spindle-shaped dusky marking 
on each side of meson and the fore wings are hyaline, their marginal cilia somewhat shorter. 
From brevicilin differs in liaving the abdominal stripes complete, the scutum yellow except for 
the spindle-shai)ed markings, the funicle joint somewluit longer than nide, not distinctly wider 
than long, the liyaline wings and the more regular aligmnent of the discal ciliation of the fore 
ning; also the longer 0 "^ ipositor which is inserte4l at about middle of abilomeu. Sides of thorax 
black. Caudal wings very narrow. Stignial spot small, distinct. Distal club joint longest, 
distinctly longer than the funicle which is somewhat longer than wide, somewhat longer than 
club 1. Venter of abdomen on each side of ovipositor to margins, black. Antenmn dusky, the 
legs pallid <lusky. Comj)ai'ed with types of poincarci and brevicilia. 
Described from out' female taken In forest, Jlay IS, 1914. 
Habifai : Oordoin ale (Cairns). Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy$H^3j Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
4. OLIGOSITA PULLICORPUS new species. 
Female: — Length, 0.4.) mm. 
Exactly similar to puJelira but the Avhole body dusky black, the legs and antenna3 dusky 
pallid, the hind femur dusky, tlie pedicel rather long. The diseal cilia of the fore Aving appear 
to be sparser than in pulcltra, only a lino or two being made out (high poAver). Mandibles 
bi dentate. 
Male: — Not knoAvn. 
Described from one female captured in forest, June 30, 1912.

5. OLIGOSITA BREVICILIA new species. 
F(malc: — Length, 0.70 mm. 
Pale golden yelloAV and in my table of Australian species running to aiirea but the 
abdomen bears four dusky cross-stri])es, the fourth coinplete, the other three represented by 
three pairs of transA’'ersc marginal spots. Vertex, sides of propodeuin. scutum except lateral 
margins and the median line distiucfly, seutellum e.xcept median line distinctly, dusky black. 
"Wings uniformly, distinctly yet liglitly dusky. Caudal legs and ce])hMlic lemur <lusky. Antenna) 
AA'holly dusky. lA)ngest marginal cilia of fore wing somewhat less than half the greatest AA'idth 
of those Avings. Further differs from aiirea in having distinctly wider fore wings, in haAung 
the funicle joint dislinctly Avider than long, much shorter marginal cilia on fore Aving and the 
much shorter ovipositor Avhich is inserted at distal fnindh. Fore Avings Avith about a dozen 
lines of distinct discal cilia. Differs from pnlUcorpiis in the broader Avings, shorter marginal 
cilia, uniformly Infuscated fore Aving, shorter ovipositor and so forth, and in lacking a terminal 
spine on club (Avhich is long and distinct in pnllicorpvs) . In aiirea the stripes on abdomen are 
very obscure and the club bears no distinct terminal spine. Stigmal spot A-ery small. From 
poimearei differs in coloration, slender n'ings, smaller substigmal spot, absence of terminal seta 
on club (long and stout in poincarci), shorter ovipositor and so on. T^Iandibles tridentate.
